Separate into Two Parts: We are given the integral of a function plus a constant: ∫18[3f(x)+2]dx=29. We can separate this integral into two parts: the integral of 3f(x) from 1 to 8 and the integral of 2 from 1 to 8.
Integral of Constant 2: First, let's find the integral of the constant 2 from 1 to 8. The integral of a constant a from b to c is a(c−b). So, the integral of 2 from 1 to 8 is 10.
Subtract Constant Integral: Now, we subtract the integral of the constant from the given integral to find the integral of 3f(x) from 1 to 8. We have 29 (the given integral) minus 14 (the integral of the constant), which equals 15.
Find Integral of 3f(x): The integral of 3f(x) from 1 to 8 is 3 times the integral of f(x) from 1 to 8. So, if 3 times the integral of f(x) from 1 to 8 equals 3f(x)2, then the integral of f(x) from 1 to 8 is 3f(x)2 divided by 3.
Divide by 3: Dividing 15 by 3 gives us the integral of f(x) from 1 to 8, which is 5.
